This not working for me on my x86 vista ultimate!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
It don’t work! Ive even tried to replace all wmp 12 dll’s and still no avail. It sayz its not a valid win32 app.
Doesnt work for me, followed instructions perfectly. Now saying WMP is not a valid win32 application!!!
I think to make it work, is that u have to have 32 bit Vista Ultimate English SP1. i will try on mine, since Windows 7 Ultimate is based on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1
Guys…its windows 7 media player…and if you are getting “Its not a vaild win32 app” change the versions of each file they provided to vista SP1 media player version.
File Version as “11.0.6001.7000 (longhorn_rtm.080118-1840)”
Product Version as “11.0.6001.7000″
Use Resource tuner to change…Good luck!
So its only the exe files?
You have to rename the versions in all the files to vista SP1 version.
Ack, I’ve renamed all the files with Resource tuner, but I still am getting a “not a valid win32 app” error
does anybody have a package of this already put together?
Err, this doesn’t work at all - Windows Vista x64 SP1 won’t allow wmploc.DLL to be transferred to the \Windows\System32 directory at all, despite my trying to terminate any of the processes that relate to Windows Media Player.
It can’t be done properly - the file only seems to be integral to Windows Media Player according to my research and is not shared with any other program unlike something like svchost.exe which is used in multiple programs.
i boot my pc in order to replace that files. but now i lost my wmp11 and error is not a valid win32 app. this mean this only work on 64bit operation systems. is it true???
boot with “Norton Ghost v12″
hey, i’m getting an error message “You need permission to perform this action” Please assist.

Thamks for this. It’s only for Vista. If you saw “not valid win 32 exe” error message, seems that you tried to install it on Xp (since PE header of Vista/7 app is different with the one that designed for Xp). Cheers!
Does NOT WORK! Period.
Read Misaki2009’s message:
“It doesn’t work on Windows XP/Vista! Works only on Windows 7 so don’t ask anymore or give comments about that! ”
So don’t bother and don’t waste your time.
